body mass index as a predictor of complications and conversion in patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective: Evaluate the predictive value of body mass index (bMI) for hospital length-of-stay, surgical conversion, and postoperative complications in laparoscopic colorectal surgeries. Methods: retrospective analysis of 152 patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Patients were divided into two groups: group I (bMI≤30) and group II (bMI>30). the average hospital length-of-stay and the complication and conversion rates of the groups were compared. results: Group II had a longer average hospital length-of-stay (9.852 versus 7.112 days) and higher conversion rate (33.3 versus 14.4%). bMI>30 is a risk factor for conversion, with odds ratio (OR) of 2.972 (95% confidence interval CI 1.157–7.633). No significant difference was observed between the groups regarding complications. Conclusions: Obesity (BMI>30) significantly increases the conversion rate of laparoscopic colorectal surgery and increases the average hospital length-of-stay of patients.

Acceptable short-term outcome of laparoscopic subtotal colectomy for inflammatory bowel disease.
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic colectomy for both benign and malignant disease, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), has recently been shown to have many advantages compared with open surgery. This study aimed to compare the effect of laparoscopic versus open subtotal colectomy (STC) for IBD on overall morbidity. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 99 patients undergoing STC for IBD at our inst...
متن کاملInitial experience of robotic versus laparoscopic colectomy for transverse colon cancer: a matched case-control study
BACKGROUND Robotic surgery for transverse colon cancer has rarely been described. This study reports our initial experience in robotic resection for transverse colon cancer, by comparing robotic transverse colectomy (RC) to laparoscopic transverse colectomy (LC) in terms of safety, feasibility, short-term outcomes, and the surgeon's psychological stress and physical pain. METHODS The study po...

BACKGROUND Single-port laparoscopic colectomy was first described in 2008 as a new technique for colorectal surgery. No available reports have stated the intermediate- or long-term outcome. We report our intermediate results for the first 20 single-port laparoscopic right hemicolectomies performed by a single laparoscopically trained surgeon at our institution. DESIGN Between February 2009 an...

متن کاملImpact of frailty on approach to colonic resection: Laparoscopy vs open surgery
AIM To understand the influence of frailty on postoperative outcomes for laparoscopic and open colectomy. METHODS Data were obtained from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2005-2012) for patients undergoing colon resection [open colectomy (OC) and laparoscopic colectomy (LC)]. Patients were classified as non-frail (0 points), low frailty (1 point), moderate frailty (2 points)...
